Obama team sees jobs growth in health, environment

(From Reuters) WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jobs in the healthcare and environmental

sectors are growing at a faster rate than those of the U.S. economy as

a whole, President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers will say a report to be released on Monday.

The report, which looks at how the U.S. labor market is expected to

develop in the next few years, says a rebound in employment in

construction and some manufacturing sectors is expected as stimulus

spending approved early this year invests in projects around the

country.

The report is based on an analysis of recent labor market data, a

White House official said. The report identifies likely changes in the

U.S. labor market as economic drivers shift from sectors like financial

services to the growing sectors that are transforming the economy, the

official said.

The report, entitled "Preparing the Workers of Today for the Jobs of

Tomorrow," will also discuss the skills and training that will likely

be most relevant in growing occupations, the official said. It also

will discuss the type of education and training system needed to

prepare workers for those jobs.
